AVOID AT ALL COSTS
It's got issues, and support is nowhere to be found. I emailed them on 4/25/08 about burning bootable ISOs to disc, and then they won't boot. No response. I wrote again on 5/5/08 to prompt them to please respond. Nothing.
Not worth the $20, really.
it does not work as advertised (still bugs in some of the features like smoke and disk spanning) and the developer will not respond to support questions. A very minor maintence update took over a year and didn't even address these known issues. Skip this one (and all his stuff) as its clear his stuff is 1.0 only and no further development.
ok, so let's be honest - it's very little more than a dressed up version of burn.app, so when you buy it, you expect it to be pretty. right out of the gate, i can't get the interactive smoke to work on either my imac (santa rosa) or my macbook pro (also santa rosa). both should be WAY more than sufficient for whatever graphic requirements smoke has, yet it works on neither. i've tried for nearly two weeks w/5 emails to get support to RESPOND AND ACKNOWLEDGE my problem, and they haven't.
to clarify - smoke works, but it's the two-color non-interactive variety. works fine w/1.0.1 on the same machine, just not 1.0.3
save your money.
Bwa? An update? The mind boggles.
Bwa? A maintenance update? The dead lives!
I'm amazed that on one hand the vast majority of the comments here are negative, yet the app scores nearly 1500 'iusethis'. Is it all hype? I don't know. I use it, but to be fair only on rare occasions. I just like the simplicity of the interface.
waaaay overpriced. It's all eye candy (and not that special still). There are many better apps that are freeware or you can simply use finder and disk utility for most of the things.
If you want a powerful burning app forget this and get toast which is lightyears ahead of this and anything else.
Beautiful interface.
Bells and whistles.
Nothing special whatsoever (except disc spanning maybe)
Waste of Money.
